Identifying with individual forums was always silly. Looking back on it, I regret doing so all those years ago. We're all members of the 7th Column and that's the tru7h. Identifying with private groups is cool and the lack of features doesn't affect whether you can identify with those private groups are not. There are three groups that I "identify myself" with. HFCS (#wheremyninjasat), The WorkPlace (m), and Chapter (other thing here). These groups are all great because of the people in them and the friendships I made with those people. You don't need a special title or "forum safehaven" to stick out. I mean that in both the general sense, and you in particular burrito. You already make good posts and are a thoughtful member; the other stuff is just extra. Sure, titles are nice and it would be great to see them return but the lack thereof does not "kill" the community or private groups. tl;dr: I don't disagree with you 100% and while I agree that it would be great to see some group features and titles return, they aren't necessary to the point where the community will die without them. Don't be so dramatic, broham. :)
